About this map

Alloway and its surrounding mill seats define this portion of the New Jersey landscape, where numerous tributaries like Alloway Creek and Cedar Brook once powered local industry. The map reveals a dense network of early settlements and junctions, including Remsterville, Stockington, and Ballingers Mill. Small rural centers such as Friesburg and Aldine are connected by a web of historically named thoroughfares like Commissioners Pike and Telegraph Rd, reflecting the long-established transit patterns of the region.

Water management and recreation are central themes, evidenced by the many impoundments such as Slabtown Lake, Alloway Lake, and the residential layout at Paradise Lakes. Near Portertown, the presence of Mt Zion Cem provides a touchstone for genealogists, while Alloway Airfield and the crossing at Alloway Junction point to the area's evolving transportation infrastructure. The landscape transitions from the heights of Big Mannington Hill down to the low-lying basins of the Cohansey River and Salem River.
